Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly With The Dogfather Graeme Hall.
If it’s one thing working from home has taught us is how much we love our doggos.
Stars of many a Zoom call, copious givers of kisses and cuddles and four legged furballs that simply won’t let that squeaky toy die, dogs truly are our best friends.
But what happens when our cuties turn into chaos agents? It’s Master Trainer aka ‘The Dogfather’ Graeme Hall to the rescue!
With a proven track record of reforming over 5,000 fur babies in the past decade, Dog****sBehaving(Very)Badly will follow Graeme Hall as we observe the methods behind his mantra of “any dog, any age, any problem.”
Peeing in places they shouldn’t? Graeme’s got you. Separation anxiety? Graeme to the rescue. Literally tearing the place apart? It’s time to call The Dogfather.
Graeme Hall said: "I’m thrilled to be given the opportunity to bring my canine expertise Down Under. I can’t wait to get cracking on a great new series for 10, helping out plenty more desperate owners and their naughty dogs!”
Restoring the equilibrium to your happy household has never looked so cute.
Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly Australia is based on the hit Avalon format Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly for UK broadcaster Channel 5.

Australia is a nation of dog lovers, but what happens when our cuties turn into chaos agents?
Host Graeme Hall has a proven track record of reforming over 5,000 dogs in the UK in past decade. From staffies to schnauzers, cavoodles to chihuahuas, no pooch has proven too difficult for our Master Trainer over in Blighty.
Graeme is ready to take Australia’s dog owners to task. But will the Yorkshireman’s mantra of “any dog, any age, any problem” ring true Down Under?

Graeme Hall said: “I’m so excited to be here in Australia, and I can’t wait to meet all the dogs Down Under!”

He’s helped more than 5,000 people and their furry companions in the UK. Now, host Graeme Hall is turning his hand to Australia’s chaotic canines. He’s scoured the nation for the naughtiest hounds and is ready to retrain those with the most outrageous, unusual, hilarious and, sometimes, downright disturbing behaviours.
Narrated by TV Week Gold Logie 2023 nominee, Julia Morris, Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly Australia is holding Australia’s naughtiest pooches and their owners to account.
From giant Leonberger, Remi, who’s afraid of shiny floors, to cheeky Charlie, the escape artist Cavoodle, to diminutive Shitzu, Dexter, who really loves big dogs, Graeme is certain there is no problem he can’t fix.
But will Graeme’s mantra “Any Dog, Any Age, Any Problem” ring true Down Under? Tune in on Thursday, 13 July at 7.30pm on 10 and 10 Play to find out!
Did we know this was narrated by Julia? Interesting choice, given her former partner in crime Dr Chris Brown narrated another dog series with the first few seasons of The Dog House.
Looks okay for an in-house production from 10, could’ve be okay Saturday night fodder. They should really lean into more of these types of cheap and cheerful series to break up the wall to wall reality as they’ve been doing.

The Guardian Australia’s Amanda Meade wrote in her Weekly Beast column yesterday that the Pet Professional Guild Australia, with the support of several animal welfare organisations, had written to 10 expressing concerns about the methods used on the show.
A Ten Network spokesperson said: “We take animal welfare seriously at Network 10 and sought to set the bar high with our approach to dog training on Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly.
“We had a behind-the-scenes animal consultant with a diploma in dog behaviour working with both the production team … we followed positive reinforcement training at all times. We liaised extensively with the RSPCA - stories were submitted prior to filming, and we appraised them of our plans for behind-the-scenes support.
“Throughout the production we went above and beyond to ensure the dogs were the beneficiaries of the process and best practice was followed at all steps.”
Not at all surprised to see from the latest publicity highlights that 10 have worked George Mladenov (from Survivor and soon to appear on TARA) into this show for some blatant cross promotion. Yawn
